The poet Adrian Mitchell allegedly wrote this parody of Philip Larkin's rather sombre This Be The Verse. An all together nicer version when one considers the value of a family...
They tuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to but they do.
They give you all the quilts they have
And add some pillows just for you.
Man hands on happiness to man.
It shines out like a sweetshop shelf.
So love your parents all you can
And have some cheerful kids yourself.
